That's a totally different story, then...

Can you take a screenshot of the performance tab in task manager and send it to me privately?

Have a nice day

Sorry I didn´t make this clear before: I can't even start a capture, the error rises as soon as I press Start.

By the way, because the capture gets aborted at the very beggining, a second message windows appears (along with the 
one that contains the original message reported in this mails);

"
No packets captured!
As no data was captured, closing the temporary capture file!
Help about capturing can be found at:
       http://wiki.wireshark.org/CaptureSetup
Wireless (Wi-Fi/WLAN):
Try to switch off promiscuous mode in the Capture Options!
"

I do not understand why it suggests to do something with the Wireless interface (which I have turned off) if I am 
trying to capture with the LAN interface...

This is all I have for now.

Thanks !

  Since you can reproduce it consistently, does it happen after having captured for a long time?

  Thanks all for the answers.

  No

  I also updated the Broadcom 440 NIC Win XP controllers to the latest release, and reproduced the same behavior 
booting with Dell WinXP Media Center, and also with a WinXP UE.

  Regards,
  Rodrigo.

  Well, it can mean everything...

  - can you reproduce it consistently?
  - did it happen after capturing hours and hours?
  - if it's a USB network adapter, did you disconnect it?
  - did it happen after getting your PC out of hibernation?
